Spotlight and Superduper
I have read that Superduper will not enable spotlight indexing for a volume if it is listed in Spotlight Privacy preference pane. However, I cannot add my backup drive to the preference pane, by dragging or adding it manually.
How can I stop the volume indexing being enabled by superduper? |
Try erasing the volume with Disk Utility. Restart, then add it into the Privacy tab.

Thanks very much. Works now.
Superduper is great software. I personally would like to see a 'test' backup option - where superduper just analyses the differences on both drives and reports them. This would have helped me yesterday when I installed stuffit and found it very difficult to remove as it spread files all over the hard drive, yet I didn't want to restore from the backup. |
Very helpful. Should be on page 1 of the users guide!

My backup drive is suddenly not appearing in the Privacy tab anymore. Ay, ay, ay. Spotlight on a duplicate backup drive is kind of redonculous....
|
Mine has disappeared from the privacy tab too, however spotlight still doesn't index it so I'm happy.
